Scope of Position

The Summer 2027 intern will support the development and validation of laboratory methods that detect and characterize small defects in brittle materials and multi-material structures, either as damage forms during thermal-mechanical reliability stresses or through inspection afterwards. The work will establish what each method can and cannot detect, and how those detections relate to underlying failure mechanisms.

Under the guidance of technical staff, the intern will set up and calibrate sensing and inspection systems, run reliability experiments, analyze waveform and image data, and confirm detections against independent ground truth from microscopy, fractography, sectioning, materials and property characterization and failure analysis. Depending on interests and program needs, the project may focus on acoustic emission or ultrasonic monitoring during thermal cycling, on commissioning and applying an automated imaging and machine vision inspection system, or on a combination of both. Results will also help calibrate physics-based models and empirical reliability predictions.
